A Childhood Favourite
To end 2013, I decided to bake a childhood favourite and my choice of a classic treat is the marble cake. There are many variations of marble cake recipes online and in the cook books but I wanted a simple recipe of the classic vanilla and chocolate cake. I felt like baking a marble cake after tasting the delicious marble cake from one of the oldest coffee shop (a.k.a kopitiam) in town, Yut Kee Restaurant.They say, never leave Yut Kee without trying their famous marble cake. I had one such opportunity without having to suffer the lunch time crowd and the traffic congestion in KL when one of the partners (very thoughtful of him) brought some to work one afternoon. The little things people do can unknowingly inspire others.

Very chocolately ChocoBanana Cake
The finished product, though the chocolate ganache has not completely cool at this point in time. |
I shall put up a post on my wedding cakes, two of them, for the two dinner receptions I had for my wedding. That would be later. For now, this post is for the cake I baked last Sunday after my wedding weekend.

Moist Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache
I have been quite busy for the past few weeks with work and preparation for my wedding so I didn't have the time to blog about what I baked two weeks ago.
My sister just gave birth to another baby boy and she has been craving for chocolate cake. Since Mum is too busy taking care of her (my sister's) babies she got me to bake chocolate cake for the household and particularly for my sister.
I didn't take a picture of the whole cake but here is a picture of a slice |

Adriano Zumbo Macaron Mix
Macaron by Adriano Zumbo. Honestly, I have never heard of his name before in the macaron world, maybe it is due to ignorance. Do forgive me. The only two macaron makers I know of are obviously, Laduree whose brand name is synonymous with macaron and maybe not so obvious, Sprungli (I know they are chocolatier but I love their macarons too- Luxemburgerli). If you ever visit Zurich you have to try Luxemburgerli macaron because I tell you they are the best!

Japanese Strawberry Shortcake trying out recipe from La Fuji Mama
I wanted to write about the Strawberry Shortcake that I was so excited about as soon
as I was done making the cake. It was around 6 p.m. when I was just about to write but KC
came along and dragged me off my laptop, literally, and forced me to jog with
him! I really didn’t feel like exercising today but after so much coaxing I relented.
Hence, the slight delay in the post scheduled for today.

Trying Out The Ultimate Vanilla Cupcake Recipe by The Cupcake Project
The Ultimate |
Then on Tuesday night when I came home from work, Mum
presented me with her blueberry cupcake in cute orange polka dot baking cups.
You see, normally when Mum bakes for the household, she will use just any type of cupcake
liners since she focuses more on the taste of the cake. I was pleasantly
surprised with the effort she made in the presentation of the cupcake yesterday. I tasted
some of the cake and as expected it was light, fluffy and delicious!
